4 DELICIOUS REPAST.-4 esGefuay sllei
mon. after q tedious conflict with the multi
tuGinous vexations incident to getting,
daily paper to press, and when about 10 de'
mart for home, the entire retinue OF the GA
zETTE Office was uncerlmoniously called 10
halt in order that justice could be done to
royal feast which Brengle had spread III the
shape of several varieties OF hls delicious ICE
cream, together with an abundant supply OF
different kinds of cake. All hands went
inn with will, and to say the banquet was
enjoyed would be but tame way OF putting
it. Brengle's goods have attained SUCH
reputation in this section OF country that
it would be work Of supererogation 10 un'
dertake to sing their praises now. IL ID
sufficient to say that their nc plus ultra
standard OF excellence in no wise deterior.
ates and that his productions are enjoyed
more and more as each season rolls around.
His cream is now packed in patent recepta-
Giles, in the shape of pasteboard boxes with
wire handles, into each of which two varle-
ties can be placed and kept intact for nearly
half day. This contrivance is es-
pecially convenient for excursionists,
as it does away with the clumsy old
freezers OF yore and renders ice cream
as portable as box of fried oysters.
About twelve hundred years ago, when
Mohammed wrote, or dictated, the Koran,
he racked his imagination in attempts to de.
scribe an ideal Paradise after the notions Of
Oriental voluptuousness. He tells lis that
far.away land teens with rivers Of wine,
lovely daughters of Eve, the softest couches
and many other things calculated to cause
us to forget the ills we bear in anticipating
the Joys of another existence. Now, had
Brengle been his cotemporary, it may be
safely asserted that the founder of the Mos
lem religion would have esteemed his ice
cream and accompaniment as food lit for
the gods, and have given them prominent
place in the list of delectable sweets prom.
ised the faithful Mussulmans in the "sweet
bye and bye.
